Senior Full Stack Developer with 4.5+ years of experience building enterprise-grade applications at Deloitte and Cognizant. I architect scalable React frontends and robust Node.js backends, with deep expertise in performance optimization, accessibility (WCAG), and cloud infrastructure. I ship products that are fast, inclusive, and beautiful.
Beyond the code, I care deeply about accessibility — ensuring products work for everyone. I've achieved 95% WCAG coverage on enterprise platforms, using JAWS, NVDA, and Axe DevTools to audit every interaction.
